Touchy Feely Fool – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Well, I'm not too superstitious
But I knock on wood a lot
Prayin' I'll wake up tomorrow
Get the guts to tell you off
But I know I'll never get there
You could scream you wish me dead
But I'll crawl back to you tomorrow
Why the hell can't I get mad?
Someday, won't this be funny?
Well, I want it funny now
Man, I wanna laugh so loud
Someday, won't this be long ago?
I wanna feel that now
Sorry if I can't see how
I'm screwed
But, hey, what can you do?
I'm a touchy-feely fool
I would give anything to not give a sh- about you
Life is pretty cruel
For a touchy-feely fool
I would give anything to not give a sh-, but I do
...
I would give anything to not give a sh-
Well, I'm not too claustrophobic
But I lose my breath sometimes
Now I can't even talk to ya
Now your lawyers talk to mine
Could you teach me to be ruthless?
Could I be unfeeling too?
Maybe someday, when I'm older
I'll be better off like you
I'm better off a stick
I'm better off a stone
I'm better off a jerk
I'm better off alone
I'm better not feeling stress or feeling bliss
I won't feel much, at least I won't be feeling this
I'm screwed
But, hey, what can you do?
I'm a touchy-feely fool
I would give anything to not give a sh- about you
Life is pretty cruel
For a touchy-feely fool
I would give anything to not give a sh-, but I do
I do, I do
...
I would give anything to not give a sh-
But someday, won't this be funny?
Well, I want it funny now
Man, I wanna laugh so loud
Someday, won't this be long ago?
I wanna feel that now
Sorry if I can't see how
Someday
...
Someday
...
Someday
...
